During the renovations of Middle House and Hoffman House at Moses Brown School, we designed the exterior courtyard as a memorial garden for the Rocchio Family. By thoughtfully redesigning walkways and employing visual elements like diverse paving materials, patterns, and plant selections, we created a distinctive sense of place while maintaining clear building exits and campus flow.

• Outdoor class room & picnic area,
• Informal lawn space within the garden to invite people to sit and enjoy the space,
• Native & ornamental plantings.

This project was completed by Mark J Butler, Jr. and Gates, Leighton & Associates during 2007 – 2008 where Mark held the position of Senior
Landscape Designer and Project Manager at the East Providence based firm.
